W = Fd
W = 1225 N x 10 m = 12250
Answer:
5 hours
Explanation:
Let the required time be x hours. The time will be the same for both cars.
The cars will cover different distances because they are travelling at different speeds.
<em>D=S×T
</em>
The distance travelled by the slower car = 50×x miles.
The distance travelled by the faster car = 58×x miles.
The two distances differ by 40 miles.
58x−50x=40
8x=40
x=5 hours
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A second method:
The difference in the distances is 40 miles
The difference in the speeds is #8mph.
The time to make up the 40 miles=
=5 hours
Potential energy (PE ) = m g h
Where:
m = mass = 3800 kg
g = acceleration due gravity = 10 m/s^2
h = heigth = 110 meters
Replacing:
PE = 3800 * 10 * 110 = 4,180,000 J
